Not Playing For Grandma's House

Money rules, so we can all keep being friends.

Regardless of which way you choose to play, all payments must be received before the start of the 2nd round. No exceptions. If you're in for the season, your $100 needs to be sent before the start of the 2nd round of the first tournament.
